One of my pet peevs is the abuse of proper lighting especially along highways. I was really taken with the wide use of sodium (yellowish) lighting in the infrastructure of the villages and also the excellent use of "down lighting". One of the environmental abuses in todays society is called "light pollution". In a city of this size I am able to go outside of my home here in TV and see the stars. Try that in any other city of 70,000 population. In the effort to go "green" it seems that we have forgotten the effect lighting has on mood. I see post lamps with "white" lights used from flourescent and LED lamps. This is of course is in big box stores for good lighting purposes. I personnaly like warm light or the gas light effect.
I'm sure the use of LED lighting is going to become increasingly more popular because of the cost of usage and replacement. I also am confident that the management team responsible for these decisions here in TV will look into tinted LED lights and please us all.
